A procurement liaison officer serves as a go between User and the Supplier. His role is to assist user in developing and initiating the requirement , communicating the same to field procurement professionals/buyers , and finally to follow up with the supplier. However, this is a very broad and generic description , details may vary from organization to organization.

Ensure efficient communication channels between us is by requesting a main point of contact for your institution, or a Liaison Officer. It should be someone who's going to make the most use of our services - a Procurement Officer, for example.

The Liaison Officer will also need to review their institution's spend report, and be the first contact for CPC suppliers offering engagement with our contracts. Please be assured that we will do our best to ensure you will not be inundated by suppliers at any time.
